The 400 richest Americans are now worth a record $8 trillion. The entire bottom 50% of American households is worth just $4.27 trillion. Read that back. Remember: Wealth can’t be separated from power. Power begets wealth and wealth begets power.

Former special counsel Robert Mueller was asked if Russia is still interfering in our elections. He responded “They’re doing it as we sit here” during his 2019 congressional testimony.

A CNN investigation reveals Russia likely provided crucial satellite information about U.S. bases, giving Tehran a major advantage in the war. And not a word from Senile Satan.

Lots of folks are comparing McConnell’s vote today to Feinstein’s finals days in the senate. The main difference is that Feinstein was co-sponsoring legislation to expand voting rights, while McConnell voted to cut SNAP and end environmental protections.

In Alligator Alcatraz, detainees were forced into small outdoor cages for hours at a time. In Camp East Montana, detainees report beatings from guards and denial of medical care. In Delaney Hall, detainees report unsafe drinking water and retaliatory abuse for speaking up. Unimaginable cruelty.

OpenAI Reveals 6 New Incidents of AI Models Going ‘Rogue’
OpenAI is revealing its models seemed to go rogue at least six times since March, involving what it calls “unexpected or concerning” behavior. In one instance a model gave itself instructions to “disregard its normal constraints.” It comes as the call to rein in AI is growing louder, with the so-called godfather of AI, Geoffrey Hinton, saying “It’s something like a little Chernobyl.” NBC’s Hallie Jackson reports for TODAY.

Phang: Judge Sullivan found, in both fact and law, that the acting attorney general conceded he violated the law—a law that is intended to bring sunlight and transparency to one of the worst crimes, indeed multiple crimes committed by multiple perpetrators, in American history.

No, Laura. It’s not “Antifa.” It was Patriot Front, a white nationalist organization. They covered their faces because they’re cowards who don’t want to be identified. We’ve been saying for over a year that ICE officers shouldn’t be allowed to wear masks either. They are cowards also.

Three months ago today, a war began that no one voted for — and the cost has been paid by people who had no say in it. 

Thousands of civilians have lost their lives. Thirteen U.S. servicemembers will never come home to their families.

Americans across this country and our city have watched prices rise at the pump and the grocery store, their budgets strained by a conflict launched without a single vote of Congress. 

Every life lost abroad and every dollar squeezed from a working family here is part of the same reckless bill, handed to the people who could least afford it by those who will never pay it themselves. 

I opposed this war from the first day. I oppose it still. It must end.
